we're on the road

Got a total of 12 badges in Violet now -- five Gym, four Titan and three Star! I'm about to face Grusha next, and then I'll be going further north for Ryme and Ortega before I think of wrapping up any storylines.

Might go looking for ominous stakes, too. I wonder if it's okay to start pulling them up now? If so, it would save me having to go back for the ones I've already found!

Yeah, since you can ostensibly do the gyms/bases/Titans in any order you want, I would've preferred a scaling system too. It is what it is, though.

The stakes tend to be in obscure or hard-to-reach places, so I'm not too surprised you haven't found any yet. You'll know 'em when you see 'em, as they have an eerie coloured glow about them. They're connected to these games' legendary quartet.

(I'll probably check out the classes once I've beaten the last Titan in the lake, which is next on my personal list after Ryme and Ortega.)

Yep. It's the first open-world Pokemon game so they didn't think of everything. (It goes the other way too, I was surprised Katy was so low level. I fought Brassius first because the resemblance to Hubert pulled me in hard.)
